I've been saving up my money over the years, spending some on a lot of new games, and so I decided to grab what I can because some of the computer parts I wanted to get have been discontinued so I purchased what I can...
I still need a...
- MOTHERBOARD
- PROCESSOR
- RAM
- VIDEO CARD
Now that the Motherboard is Out of Stock / Discontinued should I still go with the G.SKILL Ripjaws Series RAM? Dear lord it's been a while I forgot some of them!
This is what I purchased from my original final list:
POWER SUPPLY: CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
HARD DRIVE: Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - Bare Drive
The original Hard Drive I wanted got Discontinued, which was this:
Western Digital WD1002FAEX Caviar Black Hard Drive - 1TB, 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6GbsSo I hope the new one is a much better option.
COMPUTER CASE: RAIDMAX Tornado ATX-238WR Black / Red SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
OS: Windows 7 Preimum Home Edition
Costed me over $400 and I have just a little bit of what I originally had saved up so I need work a few more months to get the last bit of items off my list to build my Gaming PC.
Oh! For an optional parts for my computer would this monitor be a good choice:
Viewsonic VX2250wm-LED 22" Widescreen LED Monitor or this one:
SAMSUNG B150 Series S19B150N Black 18.5" 5ms GTG Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 200 cd/m2 DCR Mega Infinity (600:1)Just something to help with a better screen. Oh! And since I already have a USB Logitech Keyboard and an USB Gateway Mouse I don't have to worry about getting new ones for a while, right?
And for some DVD-ROM Drives for watching DVDs and playing games or install new software from CDs... what should I get? I would normally need two for the different CD types, right?

OK I went with the G.SKILL Ripjaws Series with 1333MHz for my RAM.
All that's left is the Mother Board, Processor, and Video Card.
Here's my original suggestions:
*
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS M4A88TD-M Motherboard - AMD 880GX, Socket AM3, ATX, DDR3, RAID, SATA 6.0GB/s (OUT OF STOCK)
*
PROCESSOR: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban 2.8GHz 6 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor HDT55TFBGRBOX (OUT OF STOCK)
*
VIDEO CARD: Diamond 5770PE51GXOC Radeon HD 5770 OC Video Card (OUT OF STOCK)
What are some good suggestion to replace those old suggestions with my build?
And for the Video Card should I wait a little more for the best Video Card around or a really good one that will last me a few years before I need to upgrade?
Any help would be appreciated.
